Do yourself a favour and stop in to the MGS if you're in town. Kitchen & cabinet food is fresh and tasty, coffee is A+. Staff are friendly and approachable, a real community vibe. Will definitely return!

Google Review - May 2023

The service was very good and friendly, and the food was excellent, called a general store but is surprising with inside and outside dining. The food is high quality, and the hot drinks were exceptional. Thank you for a great Mother's Day brunch. The Moriac General Store has a constant stream of patrons stopping in to buy hot food from the bain marie, the sourdough bread was nice.
